    Profile & Role Description for Post Of

    Profile & Role Description for post of Rural Adviser (Half Stipend) for the Colchester Episcopal Area and SSM Associate Priest in the Witham and Villages Team Ministry November 2017 Chelmsford Diocese The Diocese of Chelmsford is a large and diverse diocese serving East London and the entire county of Essex, over 3 million people in total. There are many rural communities in Essex - about half of the churches and parishes in the diocese are defined by DEFRA as ‘rural’ (settlements of less than 10,000). Farming remains an important part of the local economy with 70% of the area of Essex being agricultural land. There are three Episcopal Areas (Colchester, Barking and Bradwell) , 24 Deaneries, 463 parishes and approximately 500 clergy. The Rt Revd Stephen Cottrell has been Bishop of Chelmsford since 2010. Centre for Excellence in Rural Ministry In the Chelmsford Diocese we are looking to develop new, sustainable, attractive, mission focussed models of multi-parish ministry that will equip the church for the twenty first century. For many years the Diocese of Chelmsford has supported the work of a part-time Diocesan Rural Adviser/Agricultural Chaplain, a post currently held by the Revd. Janet Nicholls. Last year, we appointed Revd Lydia Smith to work as a Team Vicar in a rural multi-parish in the Colchester Episcopal Area and to be Director of the Centre for Excellence in Rural Ministry. We have an exciting vision for the future of rural ministry. We are now seeking to appoint a person who will work three days a week (half a stipend) as Area Rural Adviser to help develop the Centre for Excellence in Rural Ministry.

No liability is accepted for conclusions/actions by any third party. All rights reserved T4 ecology Ltd 2018. August 2018 Page 2 of 51 1. Survey Finding and Recommendations Summary The survey element identified that protected and priority species have been previously recorded within the boundaries and are therefore currently, or have been present. In addition, key ecological features have been identified that will support such species. However, whilst present and identifiable, the main finding from the survey identified that the key ecological features are currently relatively disparate and isolated from one another. Therefore, it is critical to retain the features and networks from a strategic level down to a site by site level to ensure retention of key habitats and networks as part of a Neighbourhood Plan (NP). This report has set out the factors to consider in delivering such a strategy, identified the ecological processes that may need to be undertaken and makes recommendations for enhancement that could be included in future proposals. Consequently, in respect of these Parishes, it is concluded that in considering the NP, the focus should be upon encouraging and welcoming ‘good’ well designed schemes that retain key ecological features, that have been designed around ecological constraints and are also innovative in their approach to ecological management and enhancement right from the beginning of the design stage.
